and they were talking about "Perfect Disasters."
Today's choice was a supertornado hitting Dallas....I just happen to live 20 miles from there.
Apparently, at one point in the future, there's going to be a mess of cyclone weather near, or in Texas. Water spouts, hundreds of dust devils, chaotic weather etc. and it will all contribute to basically a living hell- a SuperTornado.
Scientists predict that if such an event were to occur, this Super Tornado could rip through Dallas City like a knife in butter. It'll just tear everything- and everyone apart.
The worst tornado in history so far recorded, claimed 26 lives- scientists say this tornado will claim hundreds, if not more.

Being a complete cyclone-o-phobe, this got me scared. I live on a hill, so I'm usually safe from most tornadoes, but a super tornado, able to rip through Dallas? I just don't think it'd happen. I've seen what an F5 can do, and apparently according to the show, a super tornado would spawn like 17 F5s in a 15 mile radius or more. I immediately turned off the TV and contemplated building an underground safe house, whether the neighborhood liked it or not, and just shivered for 5 minutes.

Anyone else find this almost horrific to think about?

P.S. this is the right forum for random things to discuss right? :/

Because I live 20 miles from Dallas and according to the channel this "Supertornado" could expand up to 50miles, and last for 2 hours.

I personally don't watch those "scare shows." Better to live life not worrying about these things. Predicting a specific tornado and saying it will "kill hundreds" is just ridiculous.

My grandmother has been through hundreds of tornadoes where she lives in Texas. Just have a safe basement or something. :)

I don't have one, and none of the house plans of the buildings surrounding Dallas have basements. The say after this year's flooding, it was "too big a risk."
Risk my backside, people can escape their homes it's a tornado that they can't escape >:/

How does living on a hill help keep you safe from tornadoes? I thought it was, you were supposed to get in a ditch to be safe ... um safer.. from tornadoes.
